However, the positive story from Silverstone came in the form of Nico Hulkenberg achieving a first career podium. Lewis Hamilton had to settle for fourth in his home race, as the Ferrari appeared to lack pace in the second half of the race. Charles Leclerc didn’t fare much better after finishing down in 14th.
It was also a frustrating race for Mercedes, with George Russell’s ambitious strategy ultimately seeing him finish down in tenth. Teammate Kimi Antonelli was forced to retire for the third time in four races.
Red Bull also underperformed at Silverstone, with Max Verstappen only managing fifth. However, the reigning world champion’s ability to get the maximum out of the car in qualifying ensures that he will be a threat in Belgium.
